Make Money Online

The world is full of weird jobs, but here's something extraordinary: scooter retrieval.

 The downside is to pick up electric scooters, recharge them and put them back on the road. Companies like Bird and Lime have become very popular in some cities, and services regularly hire people to help them stock up.

One thing is for sure: technology has opened up many job opportunities. Specialty apps and websites make other jobs more accessible and more flexible than ever - and some people are seriously bankrupt.

Here are some jobs that are in regular demand, thanks to the growth in consumer tech.

Copy

Freelance Writing

Blogger

Likewise, you can start a blog and, when you have a few hundred or thousands of followers, you can earn money through advertising. For example, you can quickly create a blog on Google Blogger.

Search engine evaluation

One way companies find out how well their website works is by hiring reviewers to give them feedback. Analyst is a good place to start a job search, formerly known as the Leap Force. Another option is iSoftStone.

Virtual Assistant

You can earn up to $ 30 an hour as a Virtual Assistant, which is basically a secretary who works from home. You can find an employer looking for full-time or part-time assistants on sites like Zirtual.com, FlexJobs, and Upwork.

Answering service

There are oral doctors, doctors, dentists and many other companies that will hire you to answer their phone. You can often do this from home. Find "remote answering service positions" on job sites.

Online reseller

You may have sold items on Facebook Marketplace and eBay sites. Many people spend full time (or side-by-side) on photography, writing detail, and even discussing products in person with potential buyers.

Secret Shopper

Pre-Internet mystery shopping dates, and many "secret agents" still make some money as regular customers. Secret shoppers help stores evaluate stock shelfs, markups, and customer service. This won't make you a billion addresses, but you can sign up quickly with a field agent.

Complete daily tasks

If you are considered "useful" and would like to get out of the house, see Task Rabbit. There, you can get jobs for furniture assembly, walking and packing, cleaning, heavy lifting, or as a regular craftsman.

Call center representatives

Believe it or not, an army of customer representatives is now answering calls from the comfort of their own homes - and not in indecent calling centers. Start at sites like WorkingSolutions.com or search for "work in home call centers" on job sites.

Ride share driver

If your smartphone doesn't have ride share apps like Uber and Lyft, you should. You can never know when you are away from home or hotel, without the way home. In the meantime, you may be the driver who makes money by visiting Uber.com or Lyft.com.

Social Media Consultant

Everyone uses social media, but only a few people know about SEO and target posting.

If you don't have time to work full-time, you can make a career by making extra money. Get started on sites like JobsInSoilMediaMedia.com.
